TUNLEY NEWS
Christmas celebrations in Tunley started
with our first ever Christmas Craft Fair, the
Tunley Sewing Group were busy selling a
lovely collection of handmade gifts for
Christmas. Many local artisans supported
us with stalls featuring hand crafted
presents. The TRC was packed with
Christmas shoppers all helping to raise over
£500 for TRC funds. The 8th December was
the date for a joyful afternoon of carols and
readings led by Flic Newport and Tony
Roake and thoroughly enjoyed by all with
enthusiastic participation by the children.
The busy run-up to Christmas in Tunley
ended with the Christmas Party at the TRC.
Everyone enjoyed a hot and cold buffet
lunch. The children made decorations to
take home and the adults did a table quiz.
Callum Mayor won the Christmas jumper
competition and went home with the years’
most coveted prize, a bag of sprouts!
TRC QUIZ NIGHT
Saturday 15th February 2020 at 7-30pm.

Discounted Heating Oil via the Wellow Oil Group
The Wellow Oil Group was established in August 2008 by Wellow resident Richard Holland to serve as a community oil buying group and was one of the very first established in the UK. The purpose is to facilitate the bulk buying of heating oil at a discounted price and to limit the number oil tanker visits into our communities and thus reduce environmental pollution.
The Wellow Oil Group currently serves some 249 homes in the villages south of Bath from Timsbury around to Winsley and has delivered over 3,600,000 litres for its members to date. The likely savings to you as a member with oil heating will be anywhere between 10% and 20% compared to the price you could buy at as an individual customer.
There is NO cost to you to be a member and you will still deal directly with oil supplier when making payment for your oil.
Oil deliveries are generally scheduled for the first full calendar week of each month of the
ISSUE 121
5
year and you will have a regular e-mail reminder to request any oil needs well in advance of the delivery week.
If you would like to join the Wellow Oil Group, as many in Dunkerton, Tunley and Withyditch already do then please request and application form by e-mailing me at [email protected] or telephone 01225 833348 for further details.
Best wishes,
Richard Holland

All Saints’ Church
The Parish Church of
Dunkerton & Tunley
A total of 35 people availed of free bacon and eggs at this year’s New Year Breakfast and it was lovely to see so many there. Donations in the box raised a splendid £104.19 for the Genesis Trust. We are going to follow this with another get-together, on Sunday 15th March, this time a …… SOUP LUNCH in aid of WELLOW RIDING FOR THE DISABLED. Lunch will be FREE OF CHARGE and there will be a voluntary collection box for Wellow RDA. Sophy Bayntun-Coward, who is one of the Trustees, will be there to chat with people about its work. As she explains, volunteers are needed as well as money:
Wellow Riding for the Disabled offers disabled children and adults in and around Bath the chance to ride and be with horses. As well as fantastic physiotherapy and the chance for the less mobile to move autonomously, riding greatly benefits mental health, providing a chance to learn new skills and to spend time outside with our calm, friendly horses. The whole group is run entirely by volunteers but our overheads are still sizeable. Any support, financial or as a volunteer, will be gratefully received. If you are interested in volunteering please do get in touch with Ann Allen 07713 639125
Do please come and support this. It’s an opportunity for people in the community to get together, enjoy some food and, if possible, give a little money to a deserving cause. Don’t worry if you don’t have any money (or volunteer time) to spare, come anyway - you will be very welcome!

From The Rectory
Dear Friends,
“We're all in the gutter, but some of us are
looking at the stars”
Oscar Wilde
When I was a little boy, one of my favourite
possessions was a small compass set inside a toy
rubber tyre. I don't think that I ever used it for the
purpose for which it was designed; I simply liked
having it in my pocket, and for it to be there in
case I ever got lost. Lent begins this month, Ash
Wednesday being on the 26th of February, so I
thought about using Lent as an opportunity to
meditate on the need for another sort of compass in
my life. Not something to carry around in my
pocket, but something that's always there to guide
me through the difficulties that life throws up, and
the tough choices that it often demands of us.
We can look around for heroes and examples to
follow, but in the end, it's really about the sort of
people we are, and aspire to be. In this connection,
one word comes to mind. That word is “character”.
Character is who you are and what you do when
nobody is watching. It's also about doing the right
thing when faced with a choice, no matter what.
Character's about self-restraint and self-discipline –
serious words that connect us directly with the
season of Lent.
We don't care much for words like “sin” and
“wrong-doing” these days. But the old fashioned
language of traditional morality is needed more
than ever before. We need the sort of compass that
these words give us, because without it we are lost
in a world that has largely cut itself adrift from its
moral moorings.
Jesus and the New Testament have a good deal to
say about this issue. As St Paul wrote: “All of have
sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” In
other words, we're lost and need a renewed sense
of direction. But God has provided the solution,
because “the Son of Man (Jesus) came to seek and
save the lost.”
The New Testament calls each one of us to be
“transformed by the renewing of your mind” and
“to put on the new self ”. This happens whenever
we call upon the name of Jesus, and commit
ourselves to Him, and ask Him to be our strength
and guide through life to its very end - and beyond.
I'm ending this letter with something a dear friend
from the U.S.A. sent to me, which has given me
much food for thought:
' The opportunity to engage in dialogue became
one of the great attractions for me in studying at
the University of California in Berkeley--from
1949 to 1953. There was a great deal of
antagonism toward 'Communist-thinking', made
even worse by Senator McCarthy's 'witch-hunts'.
In fact it was the ferment of that daily debate at
Sather Gate on the edge of our campus--during the
lunch hour--which eventually led me to commit my
life to following Christ: A responsible speaker
would sign up to be the speaker-of-the-lunch-hour,
speaking with a P.A. system from the back of a flat-
bed truck (lorry) to a very mixed crowd, with
frequent interruptions from grad-students of
varying opinions. One day, a Communist speaker
was interrupted so often and harshly that he closed
his notebook and said, "Most of you are just show-
offs full of opinions but without any serious
commitments for which you will live and work. I
am committed to what I believe and am working
for those beliefs. I am finished trying to speak to
you but my challenge to you is to find something as
good as what I believe, or better, and to give your
life to it. I am not going to go on wasting my time
on people who are afraid to commit their lives to
serious beliefs." And with that challenge he got off
the truck and left.
I could not forget or shake off the impact of his
challenge over the next months of Spring that year,
my second of four years at U.C. Berkeley. That
summer, a new friend helped me understand what
Christ was offering and asking of me; and so I
decided to start following Christ. I continue that
journey and partnership with him today, 66 years
later.'
That's the serious challenge to us this Lent.
Every blessing,
Tony

DUNKERTON & TUNLEY PARISH
COUNCIL

Rural Transport
There is a publicity campaign at present to
encourage more use and thereby secure
the future of the 179 bus service.
Highways
Speeding Traffic Withyditch
A request for traffic calming measures has
been submitted to BANES. There has not
yet been a response.
Overhanging Vegetation Brooklands
The clearance of the vegetation will be
completed to clear the street light.
Visibility & traffic speed when exiting
Crossways Park onto the A367
The hedge has yet to be trimmed back but
the grass verge has been cut. On a related
matter, the parish council’s request that
BANES review the speed limits on the A367
between the Odd Down and the PSJ
roundabouts is with Highways for
consideration. The parish council had
requested changes during BANES’ Safety
Review of the A367 but nothing had yet
happened.

Roadworks below Crossways
A temporary cover placed over the hole

Visibility Palmers Lane/B3115 Junction
The parish council is still waiting to hear
back from highways whether the parish
council is allowed to undertake work at
this location to improve visibility.
Public Rights of Way
Fosseway Bridleway BA7/17
Regarding egress onto the A367 from the
Fosseway bridleway, the grass verge on the
south side of the A367 has been cut but
the hedge is yet to be trimmed back.
Palmers Lane Footpath Steps
The steps have been repaired
Parking issue at end of Church Lane
This is being addressed by our police
community support officer.
Finance
The balance of funds is £12,278.93 and
without Community Infrastructure reserves
is £11,278.93.
Budget/Precept Setting for 2020 2021
It was unanimously agreed that £300 be
included in next financial year’s budget for
replacement of the felt roofing and barge
boards of Tunley bus shelter and £500 be
included as a contribution by the parish
council towards the maintenance of the
grounds and play area at Tunley Recreation
Centre.
It was however unanimously agreed not to
include the indicative cost of contracting
for maintenance of Manders Orchard (at
about £800 for the first year). This decision
followed a discussion on the future of the
Manders Orchard when it was argued that
the facility is not well used at present by
the community and therefore the expense
could not be justified. The chairman
volunteered to discuss with local residents
the opportunities for engaging the
community on the future use of Manders
Orchard.

response is not in a position to confirm, or
otherwise, the use of the premises as
stated in the agents supporting
documentation, since the work was
completed in 2015. However the parish
council is able to confirm that since
completion in 2015 the premises have
been occupied by family members of the
owners and by others, and have not been
used as accommodation for staff of the
King William public house.
Planning Application REF 19/04865/FUL
Lower Tunley Farm Stoneage Lane Tunley
Erection of new farm building. The parish
council recognised the need for expansion
at the farm and welcomed its growth and
success. However it was agreed that the
parish council could not support the new
building in its present location because it
would not be compliant with the Green
Belt related planning policies GB1 and CP8
and the design policies D2, D5 and D6.
However if the building was located east of
the existing sileage clamps the parish
council could support the application as it
would be compliant with these policies.
Planning Application REF 19/04930/FUL
The Old Stables Manor Farm The Hollow
Dunkerton Extension and alterations to
incorporate an existing redundant farm
building, including a link between the two
buildings. The parish unanimously
supported this application as it is not
contrary to any planning policies.
VE/VJ Day Commemoration
The parish council has details of what the
national organisers expect parishes to
undertake. As the TRC is holding a party
on that date it may be the best idea to take
this action at the TRC.

RURAL TRANSPORT UPDATE from David Orme It’s been 6 months since the creation of the BANES Rural Transport Group, launched to help develop the future of rural transport services through this parish and other rural parishes across BANES. Over these 6 months, most attention has been on the commercial bus services through Tunley, and rightly so. We now have the 179 service contracted until August of this year. Looking to the longer term, the Group is involved in conversations between BANES and the new West of England Combined Authority to ensure that we won’t suffer unexpected and unpleasant surprises of sudden
ISSUE 121
12
reductions in bus services as we did in 2019. More news on that is expected soon. Now is the time to spend a while thinking about the other 2 options in the delivery of rural transport: Community Transport schemes (like Dial-a-Ride) and Volunteer Car Schemes (sometimes called car sharing.) These are 2 ways we can in the future compensate for, or cope with, any unavoidable reduction in the main commercial bus services like the 179. Here are a few words about each of them. Community Transport – that’s only available to a few old people for a few specific reasons, yes? It wouldn’t take you where you want to go? Or what you want to go for? Well do have a look at BANES’ website to show you, in a few clicks, what’s already available out there now to help residents do a few of these things: have a day out, attend a medical appointment, attend a community group or luncheon club meeting, go shopping, or visit family and friends. You may be surprised to see how much is already there. Google BANES Community Transport or follow https://beta.bathnes.gov.uk/community-transport Of course, these schemes won’t meet everyone’s needs at all times. But if more people are aware of them and use them they could offer you a valuable alternative to the main bus services if they aren’t running when you need them. And, if more people use these schemes, they can grow to offer more than they do now. Do have a look at the BANES website.
Volunteer Car Schemes – these aren’t “car sharing” schemes in the way people share cars to use the 2+ Lane on the Bristol Ring Road. These are more like local, volunteer, very low cost, taxi schemes that people can ring up to book a lift when and to where they need it. Think a bit like Uber, perhaps. There’s a successful scheme in operation in Freshford that you can read about here: http://www.freshfordvillage.com/transport-1/the-link What the Rural Transport Group has learned from the organiser of the Freshford scheme is that there are no special permissions required to set up and run one of these schemes, no involvement required from BANES or the Parish Council, no special additional insurance requirements for drivers, no special computer software needed, no huge set-up costs – so no barriers at all, really. All that’s required is a group of people who think the idea could work around here and are willing to give it a go. Could that include you? Anyone, or are a few of you, of a mind to meet and have an informal chat about how it could work here, and what for? If so, do crack on!

Dunkerton WI
A busy Christmas schedule started in early December, when members of Dunkerton WI sat down to a delicious celebratory meal at the Ring O'Bells in Priston. Some days later a Carol Service attended by WI groups from surrounding areas, was held at St. Peter’s Church Camerton, when the sum of £121.50 was collected to be given to the charity which Dunkerton supports. Armed with bags full of holly, ivy and other greenery, members arrived for the monthly meeting where instruction was given by Ruth Allaban of the Farnborough Floral Art Club for making festive table decorations. The results were rather good and there was not too much fighting over who was going to have the few red berries. We welcomed to our meeting, four visitors from Marksbury and our Rector's wife and we hope to see them join us when membership is renewed at our first meeting of 2020 on 14th January at Tunley Village Hall.
Dunkerton WI's first meeting of 2020 was held at Tunley on the evening of 14th January. With pouring rain and a strong wind, it was heartening to see that so many people had braved the elements to attend, membership being augmented by several new members plus some visitors who we hope will also decide to join. Our popularity seems to be growing which is very encouraging. Perhaps news of the homemade cakes is spreading along with the warm welcome that we hope is
extended. With the business side of the meeting over, we were introduced to Mark Rutterford, a writer of short stories who hadn’t had far to travel, his home being in nearby Camerton. He dramatically read three of his own stories, using appropriate props and acted as judge when it came to looking at members favourite books that had been brought to the meeting together with written comment as to why they had been chosen. We meet again at Tunley on February 11th when the topic will be the Glastonbury Festival. There is also a craft group who meet once a month on the third Tuesday afternoon of the month and further details of this and all our activities can be found on our website. www.dunkertonwi.btk.co.uk
